Red Sangria or White Sangria?

[mum2four]

The title says it all...which would you choose if you could only have one?

LOL! DH and I are visiting sans kids in January. I rarely drink alcohol because the kids are always with me, so I am planning to try a few this trip! Because I am such a lightweight, and because I have a few other drinks I would like to try as well, I may only get a chance to have Sangria once. I've never tried it before. Which do you suggest?

I guess it depends on who's making it. I tend to prefer white sangria when I make it myself, but some of the white sangrias I've tried at Disney have been syrupy and sweet. I feel like red wine can cut that sweetness a little more.

I usually prefer white, but never had sangria at Disney.

I like white sangrias, which is weird because I prefer red wine. I am also weird because I don't like a whole lot of fruit floating around in mine.

I also don't like mint floating in my mojitos.

I guess I just don't like floaters...

Hmmm...floaters, that doesn't sound very appetizing!

Floaters = yum!

I voted for white because red wine gives me a migraine after 2 sips, so I've only had white sangria!

I voted for red because I have found many white sangrias to be too sweet. Red sangria usually has a citrus component which "tarts it up" for me. Plus, red looks more like Sangria in food photos.

Yeah, not too appetizing!!!

This is my kind of thread! I love all varieties of sangria! If I'm eating saucy Italian food, red sangria is a MUST! But when i want a crisp, refreshing cocktail I thoroughly enjoy a white sangria!

 

[Peachkins]

I'll drink the red Sangria, but definitely prefer the white. I prefer white wine to red anyway, and Sangria is no exception. I'm also a sweet tooth.

 

[MrsB1228]

I enjoy both varieties of sangria, but usually choose the white as I find it more refreshing and I prefer a sweeter drink.

 

[wiigirl]

Definetly red!

 

[mum2four]

Oh my, I may just have to try both!

Thanks for humoring me, everyone. It's these silly little planning details that help me pass the time until our trip!

The red sangria at the Tambu Lounge is very good.

 

[bucky1023]

I go with red. White sometimes has peaches as one of the fruits in the mix and don't care for their taste.

Don't get me wrong if it's white or nothing I won't turn it down, just won't enjoy it as much

Obviously this is very subjective so go with whichever wine you enjoy the most. In white Sangria if its made with a Spanish white like Albariño I like it. But I find most are made with sweeter wines like Riesling which I just don't like. On the other hand I've met very few red sangrias that I didn't like (provided of course the base is a quality red). For me red, red wine....I'm gonna love it till I die, love it till I die, and that's no lie #UB40
